Throwback Thursday Double Pack
Exactly one year ago, Laura and I were hosting a class on character design at Film Academy Baden-Wuerttemberg, Ludwigsburg, Germany. It was like a king's breakfast. Smashing school, great students, good times.
And secondly, here's some throwback reference fun. This is BTW mostly due to my obsession with everything Eustace Tilley, the famous dandy character peering at a butterfly through a monocle, originally drawn by Rea Irvin, the first art director of The New Yorker, for the cover of its first edition in 1925.

Mouse steps
"Sketches force your imagination to do the rest of the work explaining the image. Your brain fills in the tiny details and gets excited in the process." (Alice Tsymbarevich)

Prescribing Bambi, Increasing Empathy
Image courtesy of Disney, all rights reserved.
David Berry Jr, a poacher from Missouri, was arrested last August with his father and brother for killing hundreds of deer, taking their heads and leaving the bodies. Judge Robert George ordered him to watch the Walt Disney movie Bambi at least once a month during his time in prison (via).
"Cinema, like all art forms, is an empathy machine: it expands our perspective and invites us to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes – or hooves, in the case of Bambi."
